These are our friends, the other Senior Missionaries that are serving in Yerevan. Next to us are the Peterson's, they are serving as CES Missionaries and are from Orem, UT. Next to them are the Jone's. They are the office couple and are from Moapa, Nv. Next to them are the Pincock's. They are from Rigby. ID and are Employment Missionaries. These are the people that we go out to eat with each week. They are all really great people and very good friends. We are playing tourist on a Saturday, P-day, hence the levi's. We are all standing in from of a statue of the fellow that created the written Armenian Language a long time ago. This is in front of a museum of very old books. The Armenian's are very proud of their heritage and they really like their language. It is one of the key factors in their maintaining their national identity through a lot of very difficult times. For our touring around on this day, we hired Erik, one of our driver/translators to take us around. He has a van that will hold 10 people.
This is a picture of Erik and us when we drove to a village above Vandazor. We were pretty close to the northern border of Armenia and we were on top of a mountain. We are going to provide some milk cows for a village up here.
This is a picture of our Water Engineer, Nshan. He has done the engineering for fixing the water problems in over 150 villages in Armenia. He also works as the engineer for the Congress. He is a really fine man and we enjoy working with him.
These two beautiful women are also part of our staff. Standing next to Sister Rich is Karmen, our accountant. She is one of the sweetest women you could ever meet. Next to her is Suzi, our translator. She has been part of LDSC for over two years. She is familiar with all of our projects and her knowledge has proven to be invaluable. She can also handle translation into Russian. We really enjoy working with these women. We are with Suzi almost every day. She sets up all of our appointments and really keeps us straight.
